Except as feminists, we need to think twice and do our homework. It’s worth noting that Even the Score, an organization dedicated to “sexual health equity” and a supporter of flibanserin, is in fact financially supported by the drug’s manufacturer, Sprout Pharmaceuticals. Viagra is sildenafil, a drug that men take prior to sexual activity in order to achieve an erection. Flibanserin, by contrast, is a drug that women must take daily (!) that targets the central nervous system like an antidepressant and over time increases their sex drive. Though, truth be told, it only worked marginally better than a placebo in recent drug trials.

2 dead, 9 missing in Washington chemical disaster
For decades, we’ve been inundated (sometimes, even comically) with commercials and information about male sexual function and sexual health. While this is all well and good, very little attention was paid to the female counterpart to sexual well-being and the fact that women sometimes need a little help too. Whether it’s simply a low sex drive, experienced by roughly 33% of women, or something that manifests physically like painful intercourse, affecting a whopping 75% of women during their lifetime, female sexual dysfunction is an issue that is finally getting the attention it deserves. So what does this little pink pill (referred to as “female viagra” and called Flibanserin) do? Because a woman’s libido relies on a complexity of factors such as emotional, environmental, and physical health, the drug is thought to be beneficial because it alters dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain.
Martha Raddatz Reports
But prescribing a potentially dangerous daily drug ignores the social and personal aspects of sexual desire, which might not lend itself to an easy pharmaceutical fix. As sex researchers Barbara Mintzes and Leonore Tiefer wisely point out, “If a woman is depressed, is going through tough times with her aging parents or has just had a baby and is sleep-deprived, she can easily feel less interested in sex than previously. If her partner is unsympathetic or pressures her, distress would be expected. Defining unequal interest in sex between partners as a female dysfunction is hardly a boon cialis or viagra for women for women’s equality.” Tellingly, people on both sides of the debate agree that flibanserin has potentially serious side effects that should not be discounted. It can cause low blood pressure, drowsiness, and fainting, and trials showed an increased risk of breast cancer tumors in mice. And most disturbing: it shouldn’t be taken with hormonal birth control.
- Pink Viagra is sometimes associated with the concept of "designer drugs."
- These are chemically modified compounds to evade legal restrictions.
- They may have unpredictable potency and side effects.
- The production of pink Viagra designer drugs is often clandestine.
- Users should avoid unverified pink Viagra to prevent health hazards.
- Some pink Viagra products are labeled as dietary supplements deceptively.
- Scientific studies caution against non-approved pink Viagra compounds.
- Public health officials warn about the dangers of unregulated products.
- Always opt for medically approved treatments for sexual dysfunction.
That restriction eliminates most of the drug’s target audience! Nor should it be taken with alcohol. We’re going to prescribe a drug that women should take daily and that they should not mix with birth control or alcohol in order to increase their sex drives? How about just forgetting the drug and prescribe a couple of glasses of wine instead? That’s probably a lot safer and just as effective in getting women in the mood.
- Pink Viagra products sometimes come with misleading advertising claims.
- They often promise instant or dramatic sexual performance improvements.
- Many pink Viagra supplements have no clinical testing or approval.
- The trade name "Pink Viagra" is not an official pharmaceutical name.
- There are risks associated with counterfeit or substandard pink Viagra pills.
- Some users experience allergic reactions to unknown ingredients.
- The market for pink Viagra is flooded with low-quality or harmful products.
- Regulatory agencies detect and shut down illegal pink Viagra sales.
- Public awareness campaigns target unregulated sexual enhancement supplements.
I certainly don’t mean to dismiss women’s concerns over their diminishing sex drives; but the social and psychological contexts of sexual desire are far more complex than disease mongering and pill popping suggest.
